“How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be chosen than silver!” Pro 16:16
German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler was considered
a founder of modern science. Kepler is best known for his theories explaining
the motion of planets. Over the
next decade, he learned about the work of Italian physicist and astronomer
Galileo, who had invented a telescope. In correspondence with Galileo,
he eventually obtained one of his own, and in doing so published the first two
of his three laws of planetary motion, which held that planets move around the
sun in ellipses, not circles. But, on this date in history Kepler
determined/claimed in 4977 B.C., the universe was created. Here’s the point, Kepler by way of the
telescope gained greater information and insight to truths in our universe. But,
these truths only came by way of greater insight and knowledge beyond his own
understanding or the ability to obtain on his own. What we think we see and
know is seldom the complete knowledge we need to determine truth. Despite Kepler’s
eyes being opened to increased knowledge of the universe, still missed the
truth concerning dates and facts of the universe. This ultimately shows that no
matter how much knowledge man claims to know or means by which he obtains it, God
is the only authority and source concerning and knowing truth in all matters. No
matter how much man knows, he must be cautious in proclaiming it as factual and
complete, there is always more truth beyond our understanding. You want to share or proclaim knowledge, proclaim
and edify what God has revealed in his word not what man utters from his heart.
“God’s word was not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.”
The proclamations of man are not always the prevailing truths of
God.
